The Devil's Burdens Hill Relay takes place on 25th January through in the vicinity of Falkland, Fife. This is a 4 stage relay with 6 people in the team. Legs 2 and 3 require pairs of runners as there are significant navigational challenges (ask Kenny), particularly if the weather and visibility is bad. Teams can be mixed male/female. It is pretty much a full day out (or longer!).
The running is tough going and is mainly full-on hill running on open terrain. Slight lack of detail on the Fife AC web site at the moment other than the date. However, check this web link for further updates on the details as and when they become available. There may be changes to some of the routes compared to last or earlier years.
Please leave your name here if you would like to be included in a team. It is highly recommended that you also attend a recce of the difficult sections of the course which will take the form of a day out with a lot of running a weekend or two before the race (Saturday or Sunday to be decided). Possible recce dates are on the web entry form above. The recce is highly recommended (ask Billy). We may have to be a little bit selective in terms of pairing up runners to ensure safety and good matching of runners.
Names received so far are here. We shall make arrangements for the recce early in the New Year.
